Chapter 832 Who can be blamed?
Although Bu Shengyan had already asked the court physician to see her once, Luo Yechen was still worried and asked someone to call the court physician over again.
The court physician of the King of England's palace is an old doctor in his fifties. He understands the King of England's feelings as he becomes a father for the first time, after all, he has been through the same thing himself.
He showed no sign of impatience and carefully felt the British princess' pulse again to confirm that she was pregnant.
Luo Yechen was so happy that he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet.
It took him a while to calm down and ask.
"How is the pregnancy going, Princess?"
The court doctor smiled and said, "The princess is usually in good health. This pregnancy is very stable. The prince and princess can relax and don't need to be too nervous."
How could Luo Yechen not be nervous?
This is the first time he becomes a father in his life!
The emperor hasn't even become a father yet, and he's about to become one!
Hahahaha! I feel super excited just thinking about it!
Luo Yechen asked a lot of questions about pregnancy.
The court doctor answered them one by one.
Luo Yechen was delighted and immediately waved his hand, rewarding everyone in the mansion!
Everyone was very happy when they learned that there would be a new baby in the palace soon.
The entire palace was immersed in a joyous atmosphere.
Afterwards, Luo Yechen asked the butler to go to Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and tell him the news that Princess Ying was pregnant, so that he could be happy too.
At this moment in the imperial study, the atmosphere was very tense.
Li Qingyan looked at the emperor in disbelief and asked, "You told the Empress Dowager that I'm already engaged?"
Luo Qinghan nodded: "Yes."
Li Qingyan couldn't accept it: "I am a pure and innocent person, when did you get engaged? How come I didn't know about it?!"
Luo Qinghan replied calmly: "In that situation, if I hadn't told you that you were already engaged, the Empress Dowager would have asked you to marry the girl from the Lu family. You should know what the Lu family is like."
Li Qingyan was wholeheartedly loyal to the emperor, so naturally he didn't want to have anything to do with the emperor's in-laws.
He also understood that the emperor's words were a temporary measure.
But the emperor's words were already spoken, and no matter what the reason was, he had to find a marriage partner in a short period of time to help the emperor cover up his lie.
This is very difficult to deal with!
Li Qingyan said with a bitter face: "In such a short time, where can you expect me to find a marriage partner?"
Luo Qinghan: "There are so many noble ladies in Shengjing City, but there is no one you like?"
Li Qingyan smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty has also said that she is a noble lady from a famous family. How could she be interested in a humble boy like me? Even though I am now a fourth-rank official, compared to those aristocratic families, my background is really not enough."
Luo Qinghan: "Just tell me which girl you like. I will make the decision for you and grant you a marriage."
Li Qingyan still shook his head: "A forced melon is not sweet, it is better not to force others to do anything."
Luo Qinghan asked back: "If you don't even taste it, how do you know if the forced melon is sweet?"
Li Qingyan said: "Marriage is a big deal, we can't be careless about it, we have to think long and hard about it."
Luo Qinghan: "The Empress Dowager is still looking for a husband for Lu Xinyao. If she sees that you haven't got engaged yet, she might set her sights on you again. I can help you turn it down once, but I can't guarantee that I can help you turn it down a second time. You should think about this matter yourself."
"I understand. Please give me some more time and I will try my best to find a solution to this problem."
Seeing him like this, Luo Qinghan knew that he was not being polite, he really didn't like the girl.
Since he was unwilling, Luo Qinghan naturally wouldn't force him.
Things like marriage require mutual consent.
Tonight, Luo Qinghan rested in Yunxiu Palace as usual.
Xiao Xixi told him that Princess Ying was pregnant.
After listening to this, Luo Qinghan felt very unhappy.
Although his expression remained basically unchanged, Xiao Xixi was still keenly aware of his emotional changes.
She took the initiative to get into his arms, looked up at him, and asked softly.
"What's wrong with you? Who made you unhappy again?"
Luo Qinghan took the opportunity to hug her and said expressionlessly.
"Luo Yechen is actually going to be a father, tsk."
The last "tsk" is very spiritual.
Xiao Xixi couldn't help but smile: "Are you envious of him?"
Luo Qinghan did not answer but asked: "What do you think?"
Xiao Xixi comforted her, "It's okay, let's wait a little longer. When the poison in my body is gone, I will give birth to a child for you."
Luo Qinghan thought, one child is not enough? He must have more.
But after thinking about it, I decided to give it up.
Giving birth to a child is so dangerous, just one is enough for her to endure.
He really couldn't bear to see her suffer any more.
Luo Qinghan patted her on the back gently and whispered.
"No rush, take your time."
He actually doesn't particularly like children, he just wants to have a child with Xixi, no matter whether it is a boy or a girl.
With the bond of blood, his relationship with Xixi will become closer.
…
After the three courts jointly tried the case, they quickly uncovered the truth. They determined that Duke Hong had indeed been in collusion with Xueyu Tower for a long time, and had accepted a large amount of property, set fire to Xixiang Pavilion, and attempted to kill people to silence them, resulting in the deaths of six innocent people.
As a result of multiple crimes, Duke Hong was stripped of his title, demoted to a commoner, and sentenced to death by slow slicing.
The entire Lu family was to be executed, but because the emperor was merciful, he showed leniency for the Empress Dowager's sake and spared the rest of the Lu family.
But all of the Lu family’s property must be confiscated.
As for the Hongguo Mansion where the Lu family currently lives, it will naturally be taken back by the court.
The Lu family was driven out of the mansion.
They were not allowed to take anything except their spare clothes, which was equivalent to being kicked out of the house.
After this incident spread, it became the talk of the town in Shengjing.
When Lu Xinyao heard about this from others, she was so sad that she burst into tears.
She ran to the Empress Dowager crying.
"Please save my grandfather, don't let him be tortured to death!"
The Empress Dowager looked much older now. She said helplessly, "Being able to save the lives of the entire Lu family is already the limit of my ability. For the rest, I really can't do anything."
She felt pity when she saw Lu Xinyao crying bitterly, but when she thought about the future of the Lu family, she had to harden her heart and spoke in a deep voice.
"It's useless even if you cry to death here. If you could work harder and make the emperor like you, the Lu family wouldn't have fallen to this point. I gave you the opportunity, but you didn't seize it. Who can you blame?"
When Lu Xinyao heard this, she felt even more upset.
She knew she was useless, but what could she do?
She is just a weak woman who is powerless!
The Empress Dowager saw what she was thinking and said coldly, "Look at the Imperial Concubine. She is also a weak woman. Why can she hold the Emperor's heart firmly? But you can't?"
Lu Xinyao couldn't answer and tears fell down her face.
She choked up and said, "I am so useless and I have let you down."
The Empress Dowager spoke earnestly.
"I hope you can become smarter from now on, and stop being so ignorant as before. The Lu family is gone, and if you don't stand up for yourself, you will really have to marry a commoner in the future."
…
Good morning everyone!
Xixi: It’s good to be a commoner. I don’t have to work so hard every day like the emperor, but in the end I don’t get a penny in salary and I have to pay money to pay other people’s salaries.
Luo Qinghan: ...
It hurts.
……
It’s the last few days. If you don’t use the monthly ticket, it will expire and become invalid.
Everyone, please check and see if there are any monthly tickets left?
If you have any, please vote for Xianyu~
I'll give you a salty kiss~(づ￣3￣)づ
